Red Tower: museum and panoramic cinema. Birthday price

Birthday special: 13% off museum tickets.

The Red Tower is Pärnu's oldest structure. Built in the early 15th century, this corner tower of the city wall served both as a fortification and as a prison. Its stone walls were faced with red brick, which gave the tower its name. Since November 2020 it has housed a museum, where you can learn about the architecture of the tower and the medieval town of New Pärnu.

In the tower's panorama cinema you can watch the animated film Merciless and Merciful History. In the Red Tower through 15,000 years, which tells Pärnu's history from the Ice Age onwards. The ticket includes the panoramic cinema session and, if you wish, a short introduction to the Red Tower by a museum employee.

Please note:

- The courtyard of the Red Tower can be reached through the gate on Hommiku street. When the gate is open, you can see the tower; feel free to enter.

- The tower is small and only a limited number of visitors can be inside at once, so a ticket allows a stay of up to 30 minutes.

- A group of more than 10 people must make a reservation. A guided tour is a helpful addition to the visit.

- The medieval architecture limits accessibility: the stairs are narrow and steep and the thresholds are high. Please check before buying a ticket that this will not be an obstacle.
